Northeimer Installs Crimp Analysis Lab

To further ensure the quality of the products we provide to our customers, Northeimer has upgraded our capability to analyze our crimps through the purchase and implementation of Schleuniger’s MicroGraph System (MGS). The MGS is a complete system for making cross-sectional analysis for a variety of different products.

Crimp cross-sectional analysis is an integral part of the quality process. According to Sergio Ulloa, Chief Operations Officer, implementation of this system is yet another step forward in Northeimer’s quality control. “The MGS is going to allow us precise analysis of all pressure applied terminations, including strand deformation and area dimensioning.”

Our quality inspectors are able to bisect a crimped contact and verify its properties. The formation of the crimp is held to the specifications of the manufacturer, and the analysis ensures consistent output to those specifications.
